Tactics change but not strategy in China
James Reston reports that China’s core policy remains consistent despite shifts in tactics. Beijing seeks a principle based Washington Pekin agreement including one China, peaceful settlement of Taiwan disputes, and U.S. troop withdrawal from Ta iwan and Vietnam where Nixon’s aims face Western skepticism about concessions.

Filibuster delays Nixon draft withdrawal plan
The Senate shelved the compromise draft extension bill until September thirteenth and prepared for a possible filibuster. Senator Stennis failed to limit debate while Senator Gravel blocked a 16 hour limit, prompting Leader Mansfield to call for full debate on Indo China policy before action. The draft contemplates a final withdrawal date for U.S. forces in Indochina contingent on the release of prisoners.
